The US has recently spent a lot of time and effort opposing international agreements to demilitiarise space - so that they can deploy their own kit. So they're being hypocritical in the extreme by objecting to this test. The Chinese have broken no international agreements and the US has ensured that there will be no international agreements to break in the near future. What we hear is simply whining that the perceived Asiatic inferior has done what the US plans to do.

It's also interesting to note that the Chinese place a proportion of their GNSS satellites in geo-stationary orbit - far more difficult to reach than the GPS birds in MEO.

It's a bit rich isn't it? The USA proudly says on national television that it retains the right to do whatever it pleases in space, including knocking out space satellites to protect its global interests. Everyone say 'ooooh, sh!tting meself'.

It doesn't occur to them that someone might actually take that as a threat (which is how it was meant) and then decide to get there first.

If I was the chinese head shed, or anyone else with the technological or military muscle, I'd be sayng, OK USA, you've set the precedence, I'll get there first. I wanna hear you b!tches crying about the fact that I've now got an entire space-based flotilla of deadly stuff, and it's all pointing not only at you, but your satellites. Oh and by the way, I've colonised Mars, it's fcuking mine b!tch so stay away.

The septics REALLY need to get a grip on reality. If they say it's OK to fill space with weapons, then they are cretins, and they can't be upset if eveyone else does too.

Good work Bush, you cnut!

I think the best the British can hope or is a couple of greasy spoons at each end of the space station.

The yanks did it 20 years ago and russia supposedly blinded a spy satilite before that so nothing new there .Guess its pentagon demanding $
billions for space defense .Playing star wars has got to be more fun than trying to sort out iraq/afganistian and the USAF dosent like CAS..
